Hello Mate,

Welcome aboard. You after anything in particular to finish your 3DO collection? 30 years seems about right - it certainly feels like it!

You've probably just joined the most eclectic collection of collectors on Earth. By the way, you'll be excited to hear that you've been promoted to "Official 3DO expert for the country of Greece". and we would all be interested to know what happened to 3DO in Greece!

Thanks for the promotion
Actually i got 3do at 1998 so i dont really remember how was things. video games were not so widespread here and the price was too much for a greek salary,so...very low sales and i cant find anything for my collection .i got my fz1 when i traded my mega drive 2 and gave some money,it was the best thing i ever did

You know - a thousand Sega Fanboys collectively just killed comitted suicide - but of cause your right. I guess most games have to be imported - where any regionalised for the Greek market?

sacrificed for a good cause!! Greek market never had any regionalised games on any system.We use just the pal english ones.

Hey everyone I'm into repairing and customizing video game systems and accessories, etc. Especially the older ones. So I'm here to see what I can learn and work on. Any ideas or info that you think might help is greatly appreciated.

Hello mate, welcome to the forums. You planning on customizing a 3DO?

3DO kid

Indeed I am. It will be a bit before I start working on it though as I have some other projects that I'm not finished with. Thanks for the welcome.

Hello everyone, just thought I'd say hi as I've just tripped over this place.

My 3DO history goes something like this, I worked in a computer shop when the 3DO was released but couldn't afford it. For a long time I forgot about it until I made the mistake of looking for 3DO on eBay a couple of years ago. A mistake because I'm an obsessive collector and have made up for not getting one then!

So now I've got 5 different boxed 3DOs, an M2 proto (FZ-DR21), bunch of other hardware (missing the steering wheel...), all but 6 of the US releases in their long boxes and 100 odd Japanese games - help!

Well yes, it's the development drive, but it's clearly a design prototype! I hadn't taken it apart to know what was inside it, but knew I wasn't going to be putting a disc in for a quick game anytime soon

I got a 3do system from an online classified ad (craig's list) bundled up with a turbografx and psx (all for 20$, gloat). Since then I fell in love with the 3do and it's amazingly terrible library of games.

After obtaining my 3do, it was time to play some games! Luckily I have a fairly large library of games (see my game list post) at my disposal, so the hard part was finding the games worth playing. I eventually found the 3dokid's reviews and loved them and that's how I ended up here.
